The roads in Placentia are the national and local roadways that make up approximately 171 km (106 mi) of highways (autoroutes) and 60 km (37 mi) of unpaved roads. The highways are maintained nationally by the Placentian Ministry of Transportation and locally at the commune-level by the Road Committees.
Placentia's highway system is divided into three systems: the signed Placentian Autoroutes, the signed Placentian Highways, and the unsigned Placentian paved roads. The former two are major roadways connecting the country's communes and settlements, while the latter are local roads that have street names and street signs. Both the national and communal governments have responsibility maintaining and funding the roads.
The main highways in Placentia are A1 on Saint-Pierre Island and A3 on Miquelon-Langlade Island. Sections of the highways are nicknamed after Placentian national figures or geographic locales.
